About this listen
A Warhammer 40,000 Audiobook
The Emperor’s Children seek sensation above all else, but when Xantine's warband come upon an isolated Imperial world, he sees an opportunity to pursue the finer things in life. How long can the proud warlord maintain his 'perfect' rule – and will the planet survive his reign?
LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE
It's a tantalising look into the gleefully twisted minds of the Emperor's Children, as an arrogant warlord strives to 'save' an Imperial world from its own imperfections.
THE STORY
Once a united Legion, the disparate splinters of the Emperor’s Children now eke out a violent, hedonistic existence between the stars, raiding and ravaging worlds to indulge their fathomless appetites.
Xantine, proud leader of the Adored and a true son of Fulgrim, wants more than simply pillaging backwater worlds. He soon finds what he has been searching for – Serrine, a wealthy but cruel planet festering under misrule and inequality, cut off from the Imperium by warp storms. It is too tantalising a prize to ignore, and Xantine sets out to bring perfection to his new world.
But perfection is an elusive concept, and as threats creep from the depths of Serrine and the ranks of the Adored, the rot at the heart of Xantine’s perfect rule is laid bare...

Praise Slaanesh!! A new experience!
Excellently written tale of a heedless quest for decadence and worship. I like this new few on the Emperors Children, some great characters and pitifully magnificent they are. Great voice acting also. First of many hopefully!

Amazing voice acting
Fantastic listen offering a rare insight into the Emperors Children as well as the common 40k citizen.

Rich and Richard did some great work here.
The Emperors Children in all their dysfunctional hedonistic glory! Write a sequel and I’ll buy that too!

wasted potential
I understand that a CSM protagonist should be somewhat unlikable, however Xantine is downright inept. The story has many time jumps to explain away elements, whilst the main character is simply stupid. He comes across as a whining lord, good at neither combat nor leadership. I ended up rooting for those attempting to usurp him in the vain hope that we could get an actual character.
the story itself is messy, with the mentioned time jumps and flitting between antagonists. sometimes it's best to keep it simple and just tell a good story. Ultimately this story ends the way it began, with the added downsides of killing off every likable character except the one I disliked.

A pretty good story with a lot of twists and turns.
Reminded me of some of the older 40K books, I liked it. Voice performance was good, too.

Great listen
By no means do you need to read them but it follows on nicely from the Fabius bile series and genefather. Great to see the emperors children get some love ahead of their hopeful codex release

Perfection!
There is no better word for this novel. It is utterly excellent. My favourite novel set in 40k and I have read quite a few. Kept up interest with no idea how it would end until the final minutes, Even better it was hard to work out how I actually wanted a novel about such depraved marines to end! The caveat is I do say this as something of an emperor's children fan but this is an all round great 40k novel.

I wanted to enjoy it...
But it's just a fairly generic space marine story, and the main protagonist whips out his super super-power, or super-witch when sh*te is going south.
None of the characters are very memorable, and it doesn't give you much feeling of "menace" from the Chaos Marine side, they stumble from problem to problem, and they like killing each other... which doesn't do much for their image or make them appear as an apocalyptic menace to the empire.
I initially had similar problem with Ragnar book 2, where i hated the language (talking of Magic), but actually I went back to it a few weeks later, looked past the annoyances, and I enjoyed it..
so this is my muddled review.. give it a try, but don't expect an epic tale of Chaos, and you'll enjoy it.

Great Story
Well told story & even more interesting when the story follows one of the traitor factions. Well worth listening too💯
